As with the peanut butter recalls, pistachios are used in many different
kinds of products. The FDA learned about the problem from Kraft Foods,
which found Salmonella in its Back to Nature Trail Mix. Nobody has gotten sick yet, but stay tuned. The FDA has a brand new pistachio recall page on its website. Now you can keep track of pistachio recalls along with the peanut butter recalls which continue to come in every day and now add up to nearly 4,000 products.

Will this ever end? While waiting for Congress to approve the
appointment of Dr. Margaret Hamburg as FDA Commissioner, her deputy,
Joseph Scharstein, has just taken over as acting commissioner. These
new officials will have plenty of work to do to get this mess under
control.
